drank Cranberry Pear by DAVIDsTEA
768 tasting notes

I’m spending every spare minute writing because I AM by God going to finish writing the rough draft of this book this weekend! (actually, I probably won’t make my deadline. The sick kitty got me off track. But I emailed my editor and she’s given me an extension. Still, I am going to get as much done as possible before bed tonight)

For the past three years, my faithful writing companion has been Cranberry Pear tea from DAVID’S. It’s so mellow and smooth, and I really like it. This pot was sadly over brewed. I forgot about it and it steeped for about 8 minutes. Still drinkable, but a little bitter. Oh, well. I’ll probably make another pot for this afternoon. Has anyone tried this iced? I imagine it would be very nice cold brewed. Or I could start it hot and pop it in the fridge to cool. Maybe I should start that before I go to church…

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
